If you find yourself in Amsterdam, I highly recommend spending some at the recently opened Holocaust Museum. The NYTimes has also had several stories about it as of late.
The Dutch lost more than 104,000 Jews in WWII - almost 3/4 of the Dutch Jewish population. Yet they never had a museum to devoted to these atrocities. Not until March of this year.
The first photo ended up on the cover of a magazine and it was how a Mom found out that her son, that young boy, was still alive. She thought he had died.
Very powerful and well done.
